Need help trying to sway someone. He writes: [View all]

It just seems that all that cost a lot of money and dont have it. And Im not sure about his healthcare. Do you think it appears to help a lot of people that dont want to help themselves. Im not taking a hard stand on any of it. I just feel like Im not informed enough. I think the health care is a good thing but I think we have a lot of lazy ass people that will have less of a reason to do stuff. I think those that dont have healthcare and dont have jobs should give something back through soup kitchens and gov labor.

What is the underlying message here?
